The law office of Frank J. Monteleone is an elite business counsel and litigation law firm that assists business and individual clients in a broad range of business law and litigation matters. We combine the sophistication and high quality legal counsel of the large New York law firms with the economy, dedication and individual attention of a small firm. Our services have earned us an AV® rating from the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating™ system, indicating our preeminent legal ability and very high ethical standards, as determined by confidential surveys of our peers. With over twenty-five years of experience in business and commercial litigation, we have the expertise and the experience to guide you to practical, creative and cost-effective solutions to your business dispute. We work closely with each of our clients to gain a full understanding of their business and the legal issues confronting them, and we have the experience to evaluate the available legal and strategic options. Our background allows us to provide you with a realistic evaluation of the costs, benefits and merits of litigation versus possible settlement.
Over the years, our focus and determination have allowed us to resolve for many clients some of their most challenging and intractable problems, in many instances doing so after other attorneys failed to resolve the matter. A summary of some of these matters is listed among the firm’s Representative Matters.
Our relationship with our clients is based upon principles of mutual respect, reciprocal trust and complete candor in all communications. We take great pride in the legal services we offer and subscribe to the Statement of Client’s Rights. An engagement letter is provided for all legal services (see Rule Regarding Written Letters of Engagement).
We work hard for our clients and provide diligent small-business counseling and advice. We will keep you fully informed of the progress of your matters. We endeavor to answer all phone calls or emails within two hours and, in all instances, will return your call within twenty-four hours.
What truly distinguishes this practice is the individual attention only a sole practitioner can deliver. At this firm, every client receives the direct, personal attention of an experienced attorney who will handle every aspect of your legal matter from inception through conclusion. This close working relationship means you will always know who is responsible for the progress of your matter, and you will always have one person to call who will be fully knowledgeable about your matter and able to respond to your inquiries. It also means that we will achieve a deeper understanding of your objectives and will be better able to anticipate your needs.
The individual attention you will receive here cannot be matched by larger firms, where your matter will likely be handled by one or less experienced associates and not one of the more experienced attorneys who may have initially attracted you to the firm. At larger firms, the reality for smaller businesses is that your legal matter will not be that firm’s priority regardless of how important it is to you unless you are important to the firm. So, we are better and more convenient for small-business counseling and advice.
“At this firm, every client and every case receives my direct personal attention. I have worked in large law firms and I regularly litigate against them. I have found that having one experienced attorney handle every aspect of a case from inception through conclusion is far more efficient and consistently yields better results than having your legal affairs shuffled among different attorneys, none of whom grasp the full picture. The superior focus and clarity that an experienced and fully informed attorney can bring to a matter more than compensates for the greater manpower of larger firms.
Your important legal matters deserve your attorney’s best effort. At this firm, I guarantee you will receive it.”
